WENTZVILLE, MO (KMOX) – On the day Cory Atkinson was sentenced to 40 months in prison, a marketing company has announced it will make his former U.S. Fidelis property its own.

Roberts Marketing Group will make the property at 100 Mall Parkway in Wentzville Crossings a 500-person call center by the end of 2013.

“We are already close to 60 to 70 people,” Dan Roberts, president of Roberts Marketing Group, said in a press release. “We need to be over 200 people by the end of this year, and over 500 by the end of 2013.”

Wentzville Mayor Nick Guccione praised the move.

“It’s all about jobs, jobs, jobs,” Guccione said. “We have quality housing and amenities to attract families, and they, in turn, provide a rich employment and consumer pool for businesses that locate here.”
